University Tutorial Center to Offer Drop-In Tutoring

This fall the University Tutorial Center (UTC) will provide free academic assistance to NC State students enrolled for credit in many high demand gateway courses.  The following assistance will be available:

• New!  Evening drop-in tutoring for CH 101 and pre-calculus and calculus math courses
• Supplemental Instruction (SI) for Chemistry 101, 201, 221 and PY 211
• Writing and Speaking services for both undergraduate and graduate students for assistance at any stage of the writing process
• Two different tutoring by appointment programs* for most 100- and 200- level math, chemistry, and physics courses  (only option that requires new users to complete a one-time 30 minute orientation)

Further information about all of these programs can be found at http://tutorial.dasa.ncsu.edu.  There will also be a “Find Help by Course” link on the site that directs students to many other resources on campus.

Important information for the tutoring by appointment programs

Attending an orientation is the first step in the tutoring by appointment application process for students who have not attended one in a previous semester.  Students who are new to the UTC and interested in applying for a tutor by appointment should visit  https://tutorial.dasa.ncsu.edu/tutoring/fallspring-tutoring/ to view our orientation schedule.  Students do not need to pre-register for an orientation, although it is essential that they arrive on time to the large group meeting.  Students who arrive after the session has begun will be asked to attend a different session.  Orientation opportunities will begin on Monday, August 22^nd.

Students who have completed an orientation in a previous semester and want a tutor by appointment should submit an application online beginning Monday, August 22^nd.

Special request:   due to space limitations, please do not send entire classes to an orientation for class credit.  Instead, we welcome the opportunity to send a UTC staff member to one of your classes to share information about the UTC programs.  Please contact me at bbwindom@ncsu.edu to request a classroom visit.

The last day we will accept new applications for tutoring by appointment is October 5^th (before Fall Break) due to resource limitations.   All other UTC services are available at all times during the semester.
